Caregivers’ Perceptions and Willingness to Utilize Telerehabilitation for Outpatient Consultation and Therapy for Pediatric Patients in a COVID-Referral Center in a Developing Country: A Cross-sectional Study
With high levels of willingness among caregivers, telerehabilitation is a viable method of providing rehabilitation services for the continuation of management after inpatient admission among pediatric patients. Limitations in its utilization include technological issues including the lack of devices, low level of service use, and slow internet connectivity. Although well perceived as advantageous, there are concerns regarding loss of human contact, difficulty in using technological devices, and trust and privacy issues that may affect utilization.
